All I can say is, I don't talk about the personal stuff. It's the one thing you can keep to yourself. At least you try to.
Actually, bizarrely, in America, I get more appreciation from the odd, unusual stuff I've done, almost because I'm not, if you like, famous in America as I am in England.
I don't like comedy that I think is bad comedy, where people are trying to be sick for the sake of it, where there's no intellectual point behind it. I like stuff that's got an underlying point of view.
I try to not make safe choices, but I also like to do stuff which is interesting and is sort of exciting in some way and accessible.
I'm one of those guys who likes to piddle around in the garage and fix stuff.
I can't do all that riddly diddly stuff. I'm not good enough. It's all about not playing.
I did 'Little Dorrit' a few years ago; I really love doing period dramas. It's stuff like that I really enjoy watching.
I'm endlessly putting myself on tapes for things over in America! I'm always sitting at home, learning lines, sending stuff to America.
I listen to a lot of old stuff like Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, and The Temptations.
The best place to find material is in real life. I've always maintained that it's not until the mid-20s that you have enough of a life to draw from. There's nothing better for a comic than to go through some bad stuff - and some good stuff, like getting married.
I'm from Texas and actually went to a regular high school, but every day after school I'd run to dance class and practice a lot and then go back the next day and stuff like that.
I had always loved comedy, and acted out Steve Martin and Bill Cosby albums with my sister for my parents on road trips and stuff, and I loved to laugh and make people laugh.
Everyone I talk to says stuff like, 'Music sucks today,' and I'm going to try and change all that.
A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don't know where they get it from, sometimes.
Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff.
I've been getting into Nick Drake lately, the folk singer. Sad, gorgeous stuff.
I wouldn't say pop stars hit on me - that's just stuff the papers make up.
The accolade of your peers is very exciting, always. There's lots of good stuff on the ballot.
I find it hard to imagine how someone listens to my stuff, or views what I do, or me, or anything.
My mom breastfed me for more than a year, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. It's cheap and much better for the environment, and you don't have to lug all that stuff around.
When you look at guys who get recruited, most of the best athletes, they come from poor families. I don't forget. I was a junior looking through my mother's stuff and looked at her bank statement, and we had $30 in the bank.
Some of our stuff ends up looking too corporate. I'm going to be a lot stricter from now on.
Repetitiveness is one of the things that's most difficult to get away from in genre pictures, because people come specifically to see certain kinds of things but get disappointed if they're presented in the same way. So to try to find a new way to show old stuff is always the challenge.
Because I come from that old-school optics environment, I know stuff about depth of field and camera movement and things that are not necessarily a part of the curriculum for people who started on a box and have never done anything that wasn't on a box.
I'm of Neil Young's generation. Neil Young's songs have spoken to what it's like to be at least a white male of his generation over the years. Endlessly, he's sung about the stuff that I really care about. He's put into words the feelings that hit you at different transitional moments in life.
